INTRODUCTION

The Vantage 17 Cable model of the Clarke scrubber-dryer ensures a highly effective oor cleaning performance. The Vantage 17

Cable model uses a single rotary brush to clean an area of 17.0 in (430 mm) in width. The rear squeegee performs the oor cleaning

and the vacuum system recovers the washing water in a single pass.

HOW TO KEEP THIS MANUAL

The Operator’s Manual must be kept near the machine, inside an adequate case, away from liquids and other substances that can

cause damage to it.

IDENTIFICATION DATA

The machine serial number and model are shown on the plate and can be read from the outside. (A, Fig. 2 - page 9).

The machine model year is written in the Declaration of Conformity and it is also indicated by the rst two gures of the machine serial

number.

This information is useful when requiring machine spare parts. Use the following table to write down the machine identication data

for any further reference.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine is equipped with a grounding system. If the machine has a malfunction or an electrical failure, the grounding system

reduces the risk of electric shock. This Machine is equipped with a power supply cable with grounding cable and plug with grounding

connection.

The plug must be inserted in proper electrical mains equipped with a grounding system according to the Law in force.

WARNING!

Improper connections can cause electric shock. Ask a technician to check if the electrical plug to be used is

equipped with a grounding connection.

Do not modify the plug of the machine. If it is not possible to connect the plug of the machine to the electrical

mains, have a qualied technician install a proper electrical mains equipped with a grounding system, according

to the Law in force.

Extension

Use the extension supplied with the machine or an extension of identical electrical characteristics.

MACHINE TRANSPORT PROCEDURES

How to Load and Unload the Machine from a Van or a Truck

WARNING!

This machine is heavy. Machine transfer must be

performed by qualied personnel only. Machine

transfer on steep ramps must be performed by

two well-trained operators only. Always move it

slowly. Do not turn the machine on slopes. Do not

leave the machine unattended on slopes. Loading

ramp width must not be less than 40 in (1 m).

Check that the loading ramp is not longer than 8 feet (2.5 m) 1.

and not wider than 40 inches (1 m). Its thickness must be

adequate to support the machine and operators’ weight.

Check that the ramp is dry and clean.2.

Position the ramp properly.3.

Before loading the machine, remove the squeegee assembly 4.

and the brush/pad holder. Before loading the machine,

empty both the solution and the recovery tank.

following positions, according to the type of cleaning to be

carried out:

ECO system• : When the lever (C, Fig. 8) is in the “ECO”

position (D), the machine works in a special condition

of programmed water “economy” usage; as the water

ow is set and constant, the machine can work with a

cleaning time of 70-80 minutes [0.08 gal/min (0.3 liters/

min].

Variable system• : When the lever is turned to the left

(variable ow), it is possible to increase the capacity up

to 0.26 gal/min (1 liter/min) (E, Fig. 8).

During machine operation, it is not possible to completely

close the water ow to the brush/pad.

Turn the switches (F and G, Fig. 8) to the “I” position.5.

While keeping both hands on the handlebar (K, Fig. 8), start 6.

the machine by pressing one or both the activation switches

(L).

Machine Stop

Release the switches (L, Fig. 8).7.

Turn the switches (F and G, Fig. 8) to the “0” position.8.

MACHINE OPERATION (SCRUBBING/DRYING)

Start the machine according to the procedure shown in the 1.

previous paragraph.

While keeping both hands on the handlebar (I, Fig. 10), 2.

move the machine and start scrubbing/drying the oor.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the oor surface:

Do not use the brush/pad without the solution.

When the machine is stopped, stop the brush/pad

by releasing the switches (A, Fig. 10).

CAUTION!

Before lifting the brush/pad, stop its rotation by

releasing the switches (A, Fig. 10).

If necessary, adjust the solution ow sent to the brush/pad 3.

by turning the lever (B, Fig. 10).

Machine Speed Adjustment

The machine speed depends on the type of oor to be 4.

cleaned and on the choice of using brush or pad.

If necessary, it is possible to adjust the machine speed

by following the relevant procedure in the Maintenance

chapter.

MACHINE TRANSPORT/PARKING

After operation, proceed as follows to transport/park the

machine.

Turn the brush/pad rotation switch and the water vacuuming 1.

switch (F and G, Fig. 10) to the “0” position.

Disconnect the power supply cable plug (C, Fig. 10) from 2.

the electrical mains. Roll up the power supply cable on the

handlebar into position (J).

Lift the squeegee by pushing the lever (H, Fig. 10) completely 3.

upwards.

Grasp the handlebar (A, Fig. 11) and slightly lower it until the 4.

TANK EMPTYING

An automatic oat shut-off system (A, Fig. 12) deactivates the

vacuum system once the recovery tank (B) is full.

The vacuum system shutdown is due to the recovery tank lling,

which prevents recovery water from being vacuumed, and it

is signalled by a sudden increase in the system motor noise

frequency.

When the recovery tank (B, Fig. 12) is full, empty it according to

the following procedure.

Recovery Tank Emptying

Stop the machine by turning the brush/pad rotation switch 1.

and the water vacuuming switch (A and B, Fig. 13) to the

“0” position.

Disconnect the power supply cable plug (M, Fig. 13) from 2.

the electrical mains. Roll up the power supply cable on the

handlebar into position (N).

Lift the squeegee by means of the lever (C, Fig. 13).3.

Drive the machine to the appointed disposal area.4.

Insert the positioning pin (E), lift the brush/pad and activate 5.

the transport/parking device (D, Fig. 13) by means of the

handlebar.

Disconnect the recovery tank drain hose (F, Fig. 13) from 6.

the bracket (G); open the cover (H), then lower the hose

(F) and empty the recovery tank. Then, rinse the tank with

clean water.

Solution Tank Emptying

Carry out steps 1 to 5.7.

Empty the solution tank by opening the drain valve (I, Fig. 8.

13). Then, rinse the tank with clean water.

AFTER USING THE MACHINE

After scrubbing-drying, before leaving the machine proceed as

follows:

Remove the brush/pad-holder as follows:1.

Turn the brush/pad rotation switch (A, Fig. 13) to the “I” •

position.

Lift the brush/pad-holder and press one or both the •

switches (J, Fig. 13) for a few seconds, then release them:

this causes the brush/pad-holder to be disengaged.

Disconnect the power supply cable plug (M, Fig. 13) from 2.

the electrical mains. Roll up the power supply cable on the

handlebar into position (N).

Empty the tanks (B and C, Fig. 12) according to the procedure 3.

shown in the previous paragraph.

it from the housing (I).

When reassembling the new gasket, install the joint (J) in
